About Us

Poligroup started in fall 2024 through the collaboration of former consulting partners and colleagues in economic development and the public sector. During those early months, Poligroup developed custom MCP servers and AI-agents to re-engineer the entire consulting workflow. This technological foundation enabled us to provide exceptional client service at a fraction of typical consulting costs, allowing Poligroup and our partners to deliver significant value to clients.
